House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy Introducing Bill to Fully Fund Border Wall, Making Midterm Immigration Referendum

 President Donald Trump, left, shakes hands with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of Calif., right, during a rally at AMSOIL Arena in Duluth, Minn., Wednesday, June 20, 2018.

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy will introduce a bill this week that will fully fund President Donald Trump’s planned wall along the U.S. border with Mexico, thereby setting the midterm elections up as a referendum on immigration policy, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.

Outgoing Speaker Paul Ryan hinted at a post-election border wall funding fight on Monday.

“We intend on having a full-fledged discussion on how to complete our mission to secure the border, and yes, we will have a fight about this,” Ryan said of the wall fight that looms at a news conference on Monday.

Now Breitbart News can exclusively report exactly what is expected to happen in the lead-up to, and immediate aftermath of, the midterm election. First, McCarthy, his office confirmed to Breitbart News, will introduce a bill this week that includes the full funding for the border wall–about $23.4 billion more than what has already gone to the wall effort–as well as several other enforcement measures that have already passed the House of Representatives. Congress has already directed $1.6 billion to wall funding in the omnibus spending bill for fiscal year 2018 that just passed Congress, and McCarthy’s new bill–titled the “Build the Wall, Enforce the Law Act”–would take the wall the rest of the way, in addition to providing for a variety of enforcement measures.

    1. I believe that there are some sections which they deem sufficient, so that would come into play also.

  3. Time to start pounding this in the local Congressional races.
    "Do you or do you not support fully funding the wall?
    "No equivocation allowed just a simple 'yes' or 'no'."

    People have got their back up. Kavanaugh is the new hero. He showed how with measured indigestion and the determined will to fight to the end, the left can be not just defeated but exposed for the vile creatures they are.

    The left never even contemplated that Justice Kavanaugh stand his ground. Doubling down on failure being the Hallmark of the left, they turned the freakshow into a horrorshow of naked desperation. And it blew up in their faces.

    But never fear they will for another apocolyptic crisis issue to scream at the cameras about inside 72 hours.
